NATAS names AIG as its official travel insurance partner until 2019

AIG Asia Pacific Insurance Pte Ltd (‘AIG Singapore’) has been named as the official travel insurance partner of the National Association of Travel Agents Singapore (NATAS) until 2019.

The partnership will see NATAS and AIG Singapore collaborate by offering special prices and perks for the purchase of travel insurance at NATAS travel fairs, delivering travel education initiatives to consumers and providing preferential travel insurance deals to NATAS-registered travel agents. It is NATAS’ third renewal of its partnership with AIG Singapore.

Over the last five years, AIG Singapore has seen year-on-year double-digit growth in the number of policies issued and premiums collected at the biannual NATAS travel fairs, which demonstrates the success of the partnership.

“We are thrilled to continue our involvement with NATAS as its official travel insurance partner,” said Mr Matt Harris, Chief Executive of AIG Singapore.

“We have been NATAS’ preferred travel insurer since 2008, which highlights the strength of our Travel Guard product that has been tailored to meet our customers’ needs. The comprehensive coverage offered by Travel Guard brings peace of mind for our travellers, which covers unexpected emergency situations that are often costly or inconvenient, such as medical evacuations and expenses.”

“AIG Singapore has been serving Singaporean communities for over 70 years, and we will continue to protect these communities – whether they are travelling across the Causeway or to other parts of the world,” added Mr Harris.

President of NATAS Mr Devinder Ohri said, “As Singaporeans become increasingly savvy travellers, NATAS hopes that everyone will recognise the importance of travel insurance, which goes hand in hand with their travel plans.”

“Once you have bought that dream holiday, you need to protect your investment in it so that you need not worry about situations such as theft, lost luggage, flight delays or cancellations. You really want to go for a worry-free holiday.”

“We are proud to endorse Travel Guard, and are confident that our renewed partnership with AIG Singapore will grow from strength to strength,” Mr Ohri said.

AIG Singapore is the leading provider of travel insurance in Singapore, providing coverage to hundreds of thousands of travellers residing in Singapore each year.

** NATAS first partnered AIG Singapore from 2008 to 2009. The partnership was renewed for a five-year term from 2010 to 2014. NATAS’ latest renewal will be for another five years from 2015 to 2019.**
